Four-Letter Word v.0.1.1a (itch.io Launch)

Hello, itch.io! I'm excited to announce Four-Letter Word's debut on the platform! Four-Letter Word is a gay, furry visual novel that saw its first release in January 2015 after a couple of months of development, which continued up until early 2016 where I had to step away from the project for health reasons. A lot has changed in those four years, including the explosion of furry visual novels on itch.io, so now that I'm back, what better way to relaunch the game than to bring its first public build in years to the platform? For those of you who have followed my work before, it's good to see you again! For those of you who are new to it, welcome! I hope you enjoy your time with it!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank some of the other VN creators on itch.io that have been a great help to me since my return.

Basket from Tennis Ace who introduced me to the rest of the FVN Discord crew and made sure I didn't overwork myself.
Carbon and nanoff from Minotaur Hotel who have been an enormous help, mentoring me through the whole itch.io process and helping me with some trickier parts of coding.
Eddio from Killigan's Treasure who has also been very helpful with coding concerns.

Please check out their projects as well, if you haven't had an opportunity to yet!
